Little Reba (20260928-05)
DOB: 04/20/2026 Estimated
Age: 5 months
Weight: 21-30 lbs

Spayed/Neutered: Not yet

Little Reba is a happy, curious puppy who loves exploring her surroundings and being part of the action. She has a wonderful balance of playful puppy energy and affection, making her equally happy investigating something new or coming over for some attention. She loves water, tennis balls and soft toys, and is always ready for a little playtime. Little Reba is still learning her puppy manners and will need continued work on house training, crate training and leash skills. She would thrive with a family who enjoys an interactive, playful puppy and is ready to help her grow into a confident and well-mannered adult dog.

Foster Backstory: Little Reba and her littermates were found together in the middle of the road at approximately 8–9 weeks old. They were much too young to be out on their own and were fortunate to be brought to safety. Since entering rescue, Little Reba has been given the opportunity to simply be a puppy—safe, cared for and surrounded by people who are helping her prepare for her future. Now this affectionate little girl is ready for the next step: finding a family of her own where she can continue to grow, learn and discover all the good things life has to offer.
